Tyler Stanton And Some Nuts And Bolts
Tyler Stanton is meek. He is mild. He is also ruthlessly funny.
Funny people normally piss me off because they, well, are funnier than me. And that makes me mad. Oh. and they are not normally meek and mild. That sounds like a water park ride or an adult store.
See. I’m not funny.
And I know I’m going to get emails saying I shouldn’t say piss. Here is my response so you don’t have to write it…
“Hey! Sorry I offended you. Have a great day! Los”
He is the better looking half of the Tripp and Tyler duo.
Although when I introduce them I always say Tyler and Tripp.
Here is the deal.
Tyler just published a book.
He did it on his own.
No publisher.
Just a all in one scanner and a slew of trapper keepers to bind them together.
In all seriousness this book is brilliant.

And again. Self published. He cut all 17 middlemen out and pulled this off on his own.
I did For Sale By Owner 2 houses ago. Never Again.
Props to you Tyler.

RAIN IT DOWN
8bit network, but you know about them.
I will have to say my Dad is hustlin (even though when he hears the word hustle or hustlin he assumes you are making a reference to trying to hustle him out of money)
He has just quit his job to start up a non for profit that promotes the health of ministers.
It is called ministry care, and from his 15 years of ministry service and his own personal burnout fatigue he has decided to offer up services to churches (for free) giving them free counseling for ministers, free life and health coaching (he is a certified coach and a licensed professional counselor) as well as monthly e-letters and blog post.
My dad is hustling and not sleeping because he is constantly working on this.
His site is http://ministrycare.org/

Antioch Community Church (ACC) in Waco, TX (www.antiochcc.org) is the center church of Antioch Ministries International (AMI). If I remember correctly, Highland Baptist Church in Waco established a church planting school around 1989-1990. After a few years, AMI was formed, and in 1999, Highland multiplied into two distinct churches: Highland and ACC. The staff of Highland blessed any of its staff and members to join the ACC church plant, which would be its own entity (separate from Highland) and the hub for AMI.
Eleven years later, AMI and ACC have had tremendous growth. The ACC congregation started out around 400-500; it is now between 2200 and 2700, I believe. AMI and ACC have also trained many men and women as church planters; the info page on the site says that there are 194 people in church plant leadership associated with AMI (though 1. some are obviously at the same plant, and 2. I’m pretty sure this is old info.) There are plants throughout the world, but ones in the US include: Boston, Mass.; Wheaton, Ill.; San Diego; Dallas; College Station, TX (home of Texas A&M); Seattle; and more.
